Mr. Brown and Phyllis join our family as highly motivated people who also reside at the Ranch and have found time to join in many of our related, activi- ties.

Now, with the shorter days and cooler nights, we begin our Winter Season. We have planned a schedule that I believe everyone will enjoy, especially if you participate! The following are the highlights of our program and we are looking forward to seeing you. October 28th HALLOWEEN COSTUME DANCE & RANCH AND GOLF MEMBER GOLF TOURNAMENT The Halloween Dance is one of the best events of the year. We'll have trophies for the best cos- tumes and a good band playing for your dancing enjoyment from 8:00 to Midnight. It might be a good idea to reserve a lodge for the evening and really make a night of it! An added feature of this year's Halloween Dance will be The Golf Club/Ranch Club Golf Tour- ney. This program will start at 10:00 a.m. Please call the Glendale office to reserve a starting time and be sure to include your guests.

November 23rd THANKSGIVING DAY Thanksgiving Day has traditionally been a Day of Feast in the company of good friends . . . Where else could you find a nicer group of friends than at the Club? The chef is already placing her orders for the finest turkeys to be found in Southern California. Don't fight the cooking problem at borne — bring Mom to the Club and let her enjoy the Holiday, too. Dinner is served from 12:00 Noon to 7:00 p.m., or until the last tummy is filled! December 16th CHRISTMAS PARTY This is a wonderful event to bring the children to. After a full day of fun, we pass out the song sheets at 7:00 p.m. and gather around the piano for some old-fashioned carol singing. Santa Claus shows up at about 9:00 to talk to the children and pass out some fruit and candy. For the parents, we'll have coffee, punch and cookies being served in the Dining Room. December 31st NEW YEARS EVE Ring out the Old and Ring in the New at Lake Elizabeth! Yes! the whole gang will be at the Club celebrating New Year's Eve with Hats, Balloons, Noisemakers and Good Cheer.
